The first master of the arena

Chapter 346 Returning to the capital (2)
Yin Qizi retreated, and the Bai brothers also fled, which undoubtedly accelerated the collapse of the enemies.Soon they left dozens of corpses in the rain and hurried away.

After a while, Shangguan Ying came out of the inn with a knife in hand. At this time, he was covered in wounds like a bloody man, and his steps were a little unsteady.Behind him were the seven surviving guards, who were also covered in wounds.They fought bloody battles with gods and demons outside the Great Wall in the inn, causing heavy casualties to each other.Two of the six disciples of the gods and demons outside the Great Wall also died under Shangguan Ying's sword.

Then everyone came to the house to greet the emperor.The emperor still didn't seem to have fully recovered from the panic.He asked Zhou Ye: "Are all the assassins outside really defeated?"

Zhou Ye promised: "The assassins have retreated, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Only then did the emperor ask Zhou Ye to open the door, and then walked out of the mill under the guard of Zhou Ye and the others.

Everyone knelt down and shouted long live.Seeing these Jianghu heroes kneeling in the rain and fighting to protect themselves and defeat powerful enemies, I was moved.

The Shangguan brothers said to the emperor in unison with a sense of self-reproach: "The minister's protection is not good, which frightens your majesty, and I hope your majesty will come down."

If Du Xiang and others hadn't arrived in time this time, the consequences would have been disastrous.Now the Shangguan brothers and the surviving guards are full of gratitude to the people of the "Yimeng".

The emperor said: "You risked your life to kill the enemy bravely. You are not only innocent but also meritorious. After returning, I will definitely reward you for your meritorious deeds."

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Brother Shangguan and the guards said in unison.

Then the emperor said to Zhou Ye and others: "I will also reward you well."

Zhou Ye said: "It is the honor of our 'Yimeng' to be lucky enough to escort us. We dare not expect extravagant rewards, but we are glad that your majesty's dragon body is safe."

The emperor nodded.He admired Zhou Ye very much, he was young and young, he was good at martial arts, he was good at talking and doing things well, he was a rare talent.In his heart, he wanted to accept Zhou Ye's intentions for his own use.

The emperor let everyone be flat.

Seeing that Du Xiang was injured unclearly, he asked Du Xiang about his injury.He also appreciates Du Xiang very much.

Du Xiang said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Cao Min's injuries are not serious. The most important thing is that Your Majesty is fine."

The emperor asked Du Xiang with lingering fear: "Is it a human or a ghost in the white mist earlier?"

Du Xiang said: "Your Majesty, they are human beings, not ghosts." Then he told the emperor some things about the Bai brothers.The emperor was very surprised when he heard this. "Although it's not a ghost, it's really scarier than a ghost!"

At this time, there was the sound of a horse team approaching from the east.In the rain and fog, a large group of people rushed towards this side.The emperor's face changed.

Du Xiang said loudly: "Protect the emperor."

The "Yimeng" troops stood in front of the emperor in three rows.Du Xiang and Shangguan brothers waited to protect the emperor.

When those troops approached, everyone was relieved, it was the officers and soldiers transferred by Xu Qiu.

Dang Chuqiu took the emperor's jade seal and rushed to the government office in the city to tell the magistrate the truth, and asked for immediate rescue.Hearing that the emperor had actually come here, and was besieged by a large number of assassins, his life was at stake, the magistrate was almost terrified.Hastily mobilized all the troops on hand to accompany Xu Qiu to escort him.

The prefect and the local garrison generals knelt in front of the emperor in panic and cold sweat, begging the emperor to punish him.

The emperor said: "You don't know I'm here. Those who don't know are innocent. Get up."

The prefect and the two generals felt more at ease.Fortunately, the emperor did not make a mistake, otherwise, their heads would be lost.

"Your Majesty, I will find out the origin of the assassin as soon as possible..."

"You don't have to worry about this," the emperor interrupted them, "you can't care about it either."

Seeing that the emperor was drenched and shocked, the magistrate first decided to ask the emperor to go to the government office to rest.And after being frightened this time, the emperor is now even more eager to return, for fear of returning to Night Changmeng.Then decided to continue on the road.Nearly a thousand officers and soldiers came, and the emperor asked the two generals to lead five hundred officers and soldiers to escort him back to Beijing, and asked the magistrate to take the rest back.

Although there are so many people, I feel much safer in my heart, but after this incident, the emperor knows that these officers and troops alone are not enough to fight against those capable people and strangers in the rivers and lakes.Now Brother Shangguan was also injured, he asked Du Xiang and Zhou Ye to escort him back to Beijing.

Du Xiang readily agreed that the emperor's safety is the most important thing now.If those evil spirits robbed and killed the emperor on the way, the Shangguan brothers were weak due to their injuries. Although there were many officers and soldiers, it would be difficult for them to resist strong opponents.It just so happens that this journey is also a good way to make friends with the emperor.But he was also worried about Zhou Yu and others, so he asked Yue Xiaoyu, Huang Wei and Xu Qiu to lead more than 30 people to chase after the brigade, and he, Zhou Ye and the others accompanied the army to escort the emperor.In order to be safe, the Shangguan brothers sent people to inform the government to garrison troops along the road to assist the emperor, so the places below the emperor were patrolled by government troops and there was no danger.

A few days later, they escorted the emperor back to the palace safely. The emperor ordered the best imperial doctor to heal Du Xiang's injuries.Du Xiang wittily said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, in fact, we are serving His Majesty now, and what we are trying to eradicate now is His Majesty's confidant trouble..."

The emperor could fully hear Du Xiang's implication, he used the power of the "Alliance of Righteousness" to contain the prince and the others, and they were tacit to each other.

At that time, the emperor smiled "haha" and did not keep Du Xiang and Zhou Ye any longer.Before Du Xiang and Zhou Ye left, the emperor gave them 30 taels of silver notes as a reward.But Du Xiang and Zhou Ye understood that this was the "military salary" given to them by the emperor in disguise, so that they could deal with the prince and others well.

The emperor also said this meaningful sentence to them: "Although I am not from the martial arts world, I also know the word "enyi". I will never forget your contribution to saving them this time."

Out of the palace, Zhou Ye asked Du Xiang in a puzzled way: "The emperor almost died this time, so he should be furious and mobilize troops to eliminate Prince Wan Feilong and other talents. Even if the border is tight, it shouldn't be a problem to gather tens of thousands of troops in the country. In addition, with our help, future troubles can be avoided forever, why did he endure it?"

Du Xiang judged: "I think the emperor wants to go out to catch big fish. Apart from that list, there must be a prince accomplice in the court, and the position must not be low. Otherwise, how could the emperor's private trip to the palace leak out this time?" .Maybe that prince is also involved in the prince's plot to seize the throne. The emperor told us that he will not forget this rescue, and maybe he will help me at a critical time in the future...I feel that everything is under the control of the emperor. In short, "Du Xiang said with emotion: "The depth of the emperor's palace is not comparable to that of you and me."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Ye nodded in agreement.

After Du Xiang and Zhou Ye left, the Shangguan brothers asked the emperor to let their brothers lead troops to suppress the "Feilong Villa" and "Autumn Wind Gang", and arrest the prince and other rebels.The bold behavior of the prince and others this time angered the two brothers, and they really couldn't swallow the bad breath in their hearts.

The emperor said to them: "When will you learn how little patience can lead to great conspiracy... Besides that list, we later found out that several officials in the imperial court were also involved in the conspiracy. But I think it's not just a few of them." One...and this time," the emperor lowered his voice. "Not many people know about the fact that I went out of the palace privately this time, but the news has leaked out. Don't you think about the danger?"

Brother Shangguan was shocked when he heard this.yes!Why didn't they think of this.

The emperor glanced at the two brothers and said calmly, "Actually, there is another reason."

The brothers were all ears.

"That is," the emperor said in a different tone: "The forces in Jianghu are far beyond what I thought at the beginning. They are too big and too scary. They should be weakened by each other."

The Shangguan brothers had to admire the emperor's foresight and planning.

……

Before this trip to Mount Jiuhua, Wan Feilong was full of ambition to deal with the situation and had a well-thought-out plan, but he didn't realize that the evolution of the situation was completely different from his expectations, like a basin of ice water poured him a chill.

Now his reputation has been ruined, the alliance leader has been withdrawn, and the reputation he has gained over the years has been lost, so many people have defected from his camp.

The robbery and killing of the main force of the "League of Justice" ended in failure again. "Hejiazhai"'s rebellion would be worse for them; the three giants of "Yimeng" were unscathed, but Fangzheng Jiangpu died in battle on his own side, and lost more than 20 masters, plus Xiao Qi who was assassinated by Leng Yun And Jiang Li, the loss is really heavy and it is difficult to make up.And Leng Yun, the talent he had been optimistic about and decided to win over and use, has now become a nightmare for them.

Fu Jie Emperor is the highlight, the prince Wan Feilong Wen Dongyang is extremely excited.After solving the emperor, everything will be solved easily.After all, it was to rob and kill today's emperor. In order to avoid suspicion, Wan Feilong and Wen Dongyang's men did not dare to step out lightly. Instead, they mobilized many demons and evil gods. In order to ensure success, even the Bai brothers went out in person. When Zhou Yu actually disregarded the safety of most of the "Yimeng" and sent three strong men to lead a hundred elites to rescue the emperor in such a dangerous situation, the plan to ambush and kill the emperor ended in complete failure... In short, all the perfectly planned things have now become a mess.This time they competed with Mount Jiuhua of the "League of Righteousness" and ended in a disastrous defeat.

They can also fully imagine that the "Yimeng" will grow from decline to prosperity from now on, and it is not something their family can handle.The top priority is that the two must open a public alliance as soon as possible to strengthen their momentum in order to compete with the "League of Righteousness" and restore the decline.

Prince Edward, Wan Feilong, Wen Dongyang, Xue Linglong, and Wan Yunpeng met for the last time before leaving Mount Jiuhua.They were overwhelmed by a feeling of dejection.

Wan Feilong said to Wen Dongyang: "Dongyang, Xiao Qiufeng is a waste now, it's time."

The prince was also in a hurry, and told Wen Dongyang to act quickly.In particular, the failure of Fu Jie the emperor dealt a great blow to the prince.

Wen Dongyang said: "Although the Qiufeng Gang is basically under my control now, you can't fight to get rid of Xiao Qiufeng, right? Don't worry, I will handle this matter well." He seemed confident.
